Extine Finishes Second with Program Record in 110m Hurdles at the NCAA Championships

EUGENE, Ore. – Arizona Track & Field closed competition in the NCAA Outdoor Championships with Zach Extine setting a program record and finishing runner-up in the men’s 110m hurdles on Friday.
 
Extine dusted his record with a time of 13.13 in the men’s 110m hurdles final to finish second to Auburn’s Ja’Kobe Tharp (13.05) and earn First-Team All-American honors. He set the previous record (13.17) on March 3, 2025, in Tucson.
 

He is just the third men’s 110m hurdler to earn All-American at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in program history (Frank Bennett, 1986 & John Johnson, 1984). With his runner-up finish, he is also the highest finisher in the outdoor men’s 110m hurdles in program history (9th; Barnett and 6th; Johnson).
 
Extine appeared to run a clean race in the final, after striking a couple of hurdles in the semifinals, and was just .08 seconds off the first-place finisher. With the time of 13.13, Extine falls within the Olympic qualifying range and could compete on the international stage in the future. 
 
The Wildcats wrapped up the final day of competition, and below are the team’s finishes.
